Stuart State School uncertainty 'not fair'

Parents at the Stuart State School in Townsville are calling on the Education Minister to announce his decision about the school's future.

The school is one of a handful the Queensland Government is considering closing.

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek has not given a final date by when he will make the decision.

Parent Penny Teale says she has written to the Minister to tell him it is not good enough.

"I just don't think it's fair, give us a date and give us a decision, we handed in our submissions two weeks early as per his request, on the basis that he wanted to make a quick decision, then make a quick decision, it's just not fair," she said.

"The decision was handed to us, the proposed school closure was done on the basis that it was a business decision, well I don't know any businesses that doesn't inform its clients and patrons when things are changing and fails to make deadlines.

"It's an unreasonable expectation for them to put onto us I think."

Mr Langbroek says a decision about the school's future will be made in the near future.
